Indian Footballer Dies in Tragic Magic Incident in Mizoram Premier League

The standing backflip is a type of
advanced, backward somersault. The body rolls/flips end-over-end, making a
complete 360 degree revolution and landing back on the feet, without contacting
the floor with hands, head or shoulders, requiring practice and care to
execute. Bethlehem
Vengthlang FC started the campaign better than most expected and after four
rounds they have six points and third on the table. On October 14, they faced
Chanmari West FC and ________ scored his first goal in the league at 62 minutes
which was also the equalizer. He was delighted to score an important goal …… I for
sure would not have read this but for the incident, perhaps most of others too …..A leading newspaper wrote – he will not score a
goal again – and that had been decided by himself (meaning his chosen
retirement). Miroslav Josef Klose is a
famous footballer from Germany who plays
as a striker for Lazio in the Italian Serie A. Klose is best known for his
performances with the German national team, for which he is the all-time top
scorer with 71 goals. He has excelled at the FIFA World Cup, where he is the
overall top scorer in its history with 16 goals. He was part of the 2014 World
Cup winning German squad too. Klose
scored five goals in his debut World Cup in 2002 and won the Golden Boot at the
2006 World Cup in Germany by again scoring five times. He retired recently in Aug 2014. Santosh Trophy is the
annual Indian football tournament which is contested by states and government
institutions. The first winners were Bengal, who also lead the all-time winners
list with 31 titles till date. The tournament first began in 1941, and was the
premier football competition in the country before the National Football League
started in the year 1996. The trophy as named after the late Maharaja Sir
Manmatha Nath Roy Chowdhary of Santosh, which is now in Bangladesh, who had
been the President of the Indian Football Association, the football
organisation of Bengal and the donators of the trophy. A bunch of unheralded
diminutive footballers took the Santosh Trophy by storm and maintained their
rich brand of fast-paced attacking football in the Final to deservingly win
their maiden Nationals crown sweeping aside Railways 3-0 in the Title clash of
the 68th National Championships for the Santosh Trophy held in March 2014. In line with the super IPL
and Indian Kabbadi league, Hockey league, Badminton league … there is Indian
Super league in which Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni too own teams. The 2014 ISL Inaugural Domestic Draft was the
first ever draft from the Indian Super League, the new franchise domestic
football league in India. ~ and alongside is happening the “Mizoram Premier
League” - the highest state-level
association football league in Mizoram, India.It was in this - Bethlehem Vengthlang FC started
the campaign better than most expected and after four rounds they have six
points and third on the table. On October 14, they faced Chanmari West FC and
Peter Biaksangzuala scored his first goal in the league at 62 minutes which was
also the equalizer. He was delighted to score an important goal and celebrated
his goal by flipping but unfortunately made an awkward land. He was rushed to
Aizawl Civil Hospital ~ and the sad news is that he died of spinal injuries
sustained in that somersault goal celebration. Biaksangzuala spent five
days in hospital before passing away on Sunday; the 23-year-old midfielder scored a 62nd-minute
equaliser against Chanmari West FC in Tuesday's league encounter and celebrated
acrobatically - in a manner similar to record World Cup goalscorer Miroslav
Klose. Unfortunately, Biaksangzuala mistimed his landing and his head took the
brunt of the fall. The FB page of Mizoram football (photo credit to FB of
Mizoram premier league) states that his eyes were donated. In memory of the midfielder, Bethlehem
Vengthlang FC have retired his shirt No 21 with the Mizoram Football
Association. The statement reads “'It
has been a sad day for Mizoram football and the demise of the footballer shook
his team-mates, footballers and fans alike all over Mizoram.With regards – S.
